NCB Interrogates Salim Dola in Delhi Following Deportation from Istanbul
Indian agencies say the arrest could expose wider drug routes and underworld links as investigators question the 59-year-old suspect.
- On Tuesday, Salim Dola, a close aide of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, was deported from Istanbul to India and taken into custody at Delhi's technical airport for interrogation by intelligence agencies.
- An India-Turkey extradition treaty signed in 2001 by then-Home Minister LK Advani and Justice Minister Hikmet Sami Turk enabled the operation, establishing legal framework for cross-border cooperation on terrorism and crime.
- Under this agreement, both India and Turkey committed to extraditing individuals facing at least one year of imprisonment, improving judicial cooperation between the two nations.
- Following initial questioning in Delhi, Dola is expected to be handed over to the Mumbai Police for further investigation, as authorities believe his arrival provides crucial inputs into Dawood Ibrahim's criminal network.
- India and Turkey signed a separate prisoner transfer arrangement in December 2012, allowing convicted individuals to serve sentences in their home countries under certain conditions.
